you should go to a non-target school to get into IB. all the firms are starting to think the target schools are too entitled, so your chances will be much greater at a state school, ideally in a flyover state. you want to be perceived as an underdog, so some firm will (hopefully) find it in their heart to toss you a bone.
Target school or not, the number 1 thing is that you never ever major in accounting.
LOL. I seriously can't tell if some people on this forum are kidding when they suggest others to ask people on LinkedIn for a "coffee date" to discuss their career interests.
